This just came to me today, but I don't really have anything to use it in, at least for the foreseeable future. :)

     "So, I'm to be your puppet, then?"

     "I suppose you do have a choice, but it's not a very fair one.
Either you dance at the end of our strings...or you dance at the end of 
a rope."

One of our new graduate TAs this semester is from Georgia (the country, not the state) and is named Data Maniac. I wonder if he's tried to live up to the name? I have yet to meet him, but he's on campus....

I feel like the second "you dance" could be taken out.

I went back and forth on that. I felt like the cadence was better with it in, though.
